At this point I have no idea how things are water wise back in England, but Uganda has a water shortage....
The water shortage here is quite a unique one though, as it seems to be centred only on our guest house and only on our corridor. Yes there is water everywhere apart from coming out of our own showers. At this point most of the team haven't had a proper shower for about 3 days, and you can forget about hair styles at this point. Washing hands is proving to be quite difficult, and some of us are in need of a shave.
Please pray for Water......
As mentioned in the title this is making us a bit grumpy, let alone smelly, sandy, dirty and we are now known as the "Minging Mzungos." With all that we have seen and experienced so far, it's amasing that the little thing of having no water is really getting to us, but I guess we are just a little run down and needing to refresh our tired smelly bodies.
Please pray for our tempers and frustration, and for patience with each other.
Thanks,
Chris

such a simple thing that we all take for granted, makes you realise how important it actually is.
Will pray for some.
I've just taken a break from work to read through your blog posts, and I've been really touched by what I've read. You're obviously all having an amazing experience, and your stories about what you've seen are so moving (Though the white water rafting story was more scary than tear-jerking!). God's obviously blessing you and the people you meet, and our prayer is that he continues to do so.
Love to you all

HOpe your water is back on soon. Poor things, but I suppose that is a common occurence in Africa. It is raining here again.......guess we should appreciate it. I now feel guilty moaning about it........
Love to all

Hope you have water soon.
How has Debbie coped with not washing her hair?
